I know you want great images…
you need to feel comfortable with the person taking them! How you feel when you are having your photos taken heavily impacts how you view the final photos you see. I ensure you are belly laughing, happy dancing, and celebrating YOUR FAMILY because that is what this season of your life is all about!
But what you might not realize is that you need to have a great relationship and experience with your photographer more than anything! No matter what, you will cherish the photos with your little one because you are officially a PARENT!
But as you know, photo sessions can be stressful – but they don’t have to be! This is why I’m not just your photographer, I’m your stress-free friend for the morning. I will send you a portrait style guide prior to your session to take away the pressure of picking out outfits for everyone, especially when your life just got a lot more interesting! At nearly every newborn session you’ll find me loving on your pups (AKA oldest “child”), giving lots of snuggles, and always having an extra burp cloth on hand.
In order to have those authentic, joyful photos who capture who your family truly is…

“Caitlyn is amazing! She did a wonderful job with our newborn photos and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. She was so great with our daughter and was flexible with what she needed throughout the session. She is so kind and bubbly and made it all fun. We also received the photos so quickly and they are absolutely beautiful! We will treasure them forever. So glad we chose her and can't recommend her enough!”

Frequently Asked Questions
The sooner the better! My schedule fills up quickly, so I always suggest reserving a session date within the first 2 weeks of your anticipated due date!
hey Caitlyn! I just found out I’m pregnant! how soon should I schedule newborn portraits?
i’m ready to schedule! What time of day is best?
I always suggest scheduling your session from 10-11am for optimal lighting! Sessions can be scheduled on Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday mornings given availability.
uh oh, my due date came & went and baby is not here. can we reschedule?
Absolutely! Let me know once your little one arrives & I’ll send you my availability.
help! what do people wear?
Outfits can be extremely simple for mom and dad. I suggest sticking to neutrals (white, tan, jeans). You can have multiple outfits or swaddles for your baby, but I always suggest having a simple white outfit to start out with! I will also send a full style guide!
How do i prep my home for a newborn session?
Pick 2-3 rooms and clear them of anything you would not love to be in the background of your images. Most people choose the nursery, master bedroom, and living room.
i’m not set on a home session. can we do a studio?
Of course! I have access to a beautiful studio in downtown Indianapolis!
